    you tried minoxodil, heard its good but once you stop using it the hair will stop growing there.

    Unsure if theres negative side effects will need to do your own research but pairing it with a microblade roller and some rosemary oil apparently can stimulate alot of hair growth.

    pro tip: don’t try to look like your friend, you will just end up a shittier verson

    instead take what you got and find a look that works, beard or no beard

    I can grow a nice evenly shaped full beard myself but I prefer to keep it shaved 😅

    Enjoy it. Those young hirsute men, will likely be bald by the time they hit 40. Testosterone gives and it takes away.

    Meanwhile you will find your beard arrives in your 30s and you still have a fine head of hair.

    Genetics brother. Some men can and some men can’t. But like a lot of these comments have said, don’t compare yourself to anyone else. It’s not worth it in the long run. Enjoy the ride this life has given you. Plus, tons of rad styles you can rock without a beard! 🤘🏻

    Genetics has a lot to do with it. But so does diet and how physically active ya are when going through puberty. I had a full beard at 15 or 16.

    Like everyone said, it comes down to genetics. My dad never got anything more than a goatee and mustache. My sister can go weeks without shaving her legs and its barely noticeable. My facial hair was like my dad’s until about 24 when it finally started filling in on the sides. Even decades late, it’s still relatively sparse.

    Because your genes don’t have the same instructions for beard as your friend’s.

    Its said your beard finishes filling in till around 35.

    Hormones play a lot into it.

    Genetics man. I’m nearly 30 and it still doesn’t grow in well. Just have to wait and see if it eventually gets better.
